You should realise that it is not possible for anyone to know in what form, in what
situation, at what time and in what circumstances, the Lord appears to man to teach him how to
get rid of his bad thoughts, bad qualities and bad actions. Therefore, you must make every effort
to keep out bad thoughts and qualities and try to sanctify your life by good thoughts and
good actions. This is true sadhana (spiritual discipline). Sitting in so-called meditation without
getting rid of your bad qualities is utterly valueless. It is an 'artificial' exercise. What you should
do must come from the heart.
